had early brekkie here, coffee here was quite nice. chilli scramble egg was fluffy and tasty, while the toast was too hard to cut and chewy, center was soft. Same thing happened to my toast. or maybe just need a better knife I got the minted pea mash with poached egg. the presentation I give 10/10, and they really good on poached eggs, both of mine are perfect. The pea mash was a little bit sour. Staff here are so helpful and friendly. Anyway the experience here can be 8/10.

I love this cafe! Such a warm welcome every time I pop in. This cafe has a massive seating area with a great street view patio. The cabinet is always full of options, today I had the veggie quiche as I did not have time for a sit down breaky (I usually stay for some eggs on toast). The quiche was delicious! Staff are always so lovely and friendly. Great neighborhood cafe with good prices. Will be back :) Jess, Hospitality Specialist Kakapo Business Sales

A popular spot in Newmarket with locals, visitors and workers in the area. Whether you're after a coffee, food or a snack you won't have a problem finding something. There is a nice large area sectioned off for you if you're visiting with a group of 5 or 6 to sit. I worked in this area, that allowed me to still be part of the atmosphere with space to focus on my work. Lots of table space so I got to spread out and nice that the power points are available to plug into. I had the scrambled eggs and sourdough toast, lots if butter and a soy flat white. My visitors had the frenchtoast and big deal meals! It closes at 3 the team was great leaving us to wrap up as they cleaned and packed down other areas of the Cafe. Very attentive staff, friendly and quick. Food tastes just as great as it looks. I will for sure be visiting a bit more and bringing friends along on my next visit. #ExploreAuckland
